The past year has been a great year for debut actor Vijay Sethupathi with his “Pizza” and “Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom” whose directors were debutantes too. Notably even the movies he is working on now are by debut directors.
When asked about this, Vijay Sethupathi said, “I have been meeting a lot of new directors and their concepts amaze me. I’m not giving the assistant directors a new lease of life by teaming up with them. In fact, they have been giving me a lift in my career by casting me in their brilliant scripts. Most of my friends are assistant directors. I used to hang out with a group of aspiring directors before Pizza happened. We used to discuss a lot of stories all the time. Now, when they are making a movie, they approach me.”
The actor also said that he has no issues signing up with well known directors either. A very safe and diplomatic young man indeed!

January 19, 2013 at 10:37 amVijay Sethupathi had 2 wonderful releases last year which has garnered the attention of one and all with both the film turning massive hits with a extraordinary collection. The films are Pizza and Naduvula Konjam Pakkathai kaanum. Both the film were made with a very stringent budget and clicked perfectly. Both the scripts belonged to different genre.
Now, Vijay Sethupathi has a line up of films and he is very happy with the success of both his films which released last year. He further thanks the debutant directors for giving him the wonderful chance to work for their brilliant scripts. Also he confirmed he is waiting for a call from any of the senior directors any time and he would certainly balance his career between debutant directors and well established directors.

October 22, 2013 at 1:30 amAfter a considerably long hiatus, there was a movie with a clear social message in Vijay Sethupathi’s latest release ‘Idharkuthaane Aasaipattai Balakumara’, which has gained steady and amazing response from the audience.
The actor is basking in the glory of success of the film, as he details out his calendar, which seems choc-a-block with projects back-to-back. Vijay does not have a free date for many months to come, as he is busy shooting for ‘Rummy’ and ‘Pannaiyaarum Padminiyum’ now.
Further, the actor explained the status of ‘Sangudevan’, for which he is sporting a ‘Devarmagan’-Kamal Haasan look. It was rumoured that Vijay Sethupathi has turned producer with the movie, but the actor strictly denies it all.
Also, he included that he can shoot for the film only after he is done with the current projects, as his hands are already full, and that he is negotiating the shooting schedules with the director. And what has made the actor really happy is the appreciation that he has been receiving about his acting skills. We all know that Vijay Sethupathi is a highly talented actor, and now he has been recognized by his own colleagues.
Vijay is happy about the recognition that he has received from actors like Simbu, Trisha and Samantha, who have appreciated the former’s acting skills.
